We were extremely pleased with the Tara Hotel all around. This hotel was beautifully and newly renovated when we stayed and every aspect of the hotel is top notch in quality, offering a luxurious and equally cozy experience. Our room was directly facing the harbor, offering beautiful ocean views and our son loved watching the big trawlers in the harbor. Each room has a digital panel outside the room for guests to indicate a make-up request, DND and even has a doorbell. The bathroom was beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable. The restaurant was very nice and the food was tasty, albeit slightly on the expensive side. The pub downstairs is cozy and gives off an old pub feeling, but it's clearly very new. The included breakfast was great and the staff were all very pleasant. All-in-all, The Tara exceeded our expectations in nearly every way, and we would highly recommend a stay here if you're staying outside of Donegal.

Rooms are clean and updated. The beds were very comfortable. Arrived with a flat tire and the front desk staff were very helpful in calling a garage for assistance. Great location for exploring the region.

No Laundry Available

Stayed here for an overnight as part of a larger trip. Hotel is under renovation so exterior had construction and interior of halls mid renovation but room was beautiful, big and very comfortable. It mentions laundry facilities but no laundry available, had to drive 5-10 minutes down the road to do laundry which wasn’t the cheapest. We ended up eating dinner at the Fleet Inn which was about 5-10 minute walk away which was very good.
